<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Please forgive me if I am doing this wrong, this is my first time writing, and I am fairly new to the list...I have a daughter who was diagnosed with CD at age 4 last april...She had a biopsy done in april, and another in august..in between that time, she thrived, gained 7 to 10 pounds, grew 2 inches, and has not been the least bit sick since april..The second biopsy came back totally normal, and I was told to keep her on the diet, and she would be a normal healthy girl..NO GLUTEN..So that is what I have done..But in reading some of the other letters here, I can't help but wonder if she really has CD..I am so happy that she has been healthy, but I know I have made mistakes in her diet..and she has never shown another symptom since april...I try to make sure that everything is gluten free, but I find later that I have made a mistake..Her Dr. in town, knows barely anthing about the disease, and the specialist is about 3 hours away, so all I have is this list and many books...I am just hoping that maybe she could have a mild case..Is that possible..? Maybe I am just hoping there could have been a mistake made, and she had something else in april, and it is now gone..Has anyone else had this experience..And please don't get me wrong here, I thank God everyday that she is as healthy as she is...Sorry this is so long...
